We told readers during the PMA Spring 2003 week about several new camera announcements from digicam brand SiPix, but at the time we didn't have access to product specifications for the new cameras.

That's now changed, and following are full specs for all three cameras, plus images of the Stylecam Groove and Blink II shot at the PMA Sneak Peek event just before the show opened. To quickly recap, the three cameras are as follows:

StyleCam Extreme: 2.1 megapixel resolution from a CMOS sensor paired with a fixed-focus, fixed focal length lens, 16MB flash memory, USB connectivity and a 1.6" LCD display. Available in April at a cost of $130, this camera looks identical to Vivitar's ViviCam 3695.

StyleCam Groove: 1.3 megapixels from a 1/2" CMOS sensor paired with a fixed-focus, fixed focal length lens, 16MB of SDRAM memory, USB connectivity, and as with the Blink II, no color LCD but an LCD info display. Available this month at a price of $70.

Without any further ado, specs for all three cameras follow. We're hoping to get some before and after images demonstrating the effect of SiPix's Picture Alive technology as used in the StyleCam Blink II and StyleCam Groove shortly, and will post a separate article when the samples arrive.
